Net question  

Black to play and capture the white+circle stones.
There are quite a number of patterns of net; those built on knight's move relations are sometimes missed in games by amateur dan players. This less usual example is taken from a Korean book for use in schools.

Knight's move for clean capture  

After B1 White can do nothing.

Too close by Black  

If B1 is played one line closer, White can do plenty, and if Black resists White's escape, the black+circle stones become weak.

Another, harder example is at Shape Problem 6/Net variation.
